The Center on Court Access to Justice for All has released the fifth
in a series of Access Briefs to assist courts with issues related to
self-represented litigants. Access Brief 5: Language Access and
Self-Represented Litigants builds on the nine action steps that came
out of the 2012 National Summit on Language Access in the Courts and
considers each step and its application specifically for the LEP
subpopulation of self-represented litigants.

The brief was reviewed by several experts in the field of court
interpreting and benefited from their comments and insights. The
center offers resources and technical assistance to help judges and
courts advance access to justice, especially for poor and low-income
individuals. It works closely with the Conference of Chief Justices,
the Conference of State Court Administrators and other national court
organizations to implement access-to-justice solutions. The Center is
supported by the Public Welfare Foundation (PWF).
